Gavin Davies Music
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2007
Gavin is a multi-instrumentalist Singer Songwriter who writes, records, mixes and masters his own music.
Gavin had 2 semi finalist positions 2 Highly commended and 8 commended certificates in the UK Song writing contest run by the Brits.
Why create music and then hide it away from everyone?
Well, that is something I have been struggling with since I was a teenager! 40 years ago, a musician had to get up on the stage and perform to earn a living, something I could not do as an Anxiety sufferer. Instead, I wrote and practiced on my own and hid behind a Drum Kit, playing with numerous local bands. I have decided to record and release my music anyway. I really hope you like what you hear.
Magazine review "Your vocals, Gavin, are a wild river - soothing yet strong, the raw essence shining like morning sun upon the rushing waters. The interplay of the soft guitar, bass, piano, and drums, weaves a rich tapestry of sound that wraps the listener in its comforting embrace"

Witchcraft, | Frank Sinatra Cover by Gavin Davies. I used to love singing with Big Bands at rehearsals but the getting on stage bit was quite frightening. This song is a favourite, Frank Sinatra did a great version of this song along with many more swing singers.

I have always been a fan of Harry Connick Junior and went to see him at Symphony Hall in Birmingham UK. He is an all-round musician and has a fabulous vocal. I have covered a few of his tracks but I think I like this one the most. I never liked doing cover songs at first but I think as long as you do them in your own voice and style it's ok.

Stand proud and don't put yourself down. Do you do this?
What did you think of the film?
Depends on criteria used. Your average pub player is as good as the Edge in playing terms, but what he has achieved may make him 'Greater' rather than 'Better' Guthrie Govan is arguably the best player in world and has been for years, but has limited commercial exposure. Allan Holdsworth is lauded by many including Eddie Van Halen as the greatest. John Maclaughlin is a genius in the Jazz Rock world (You dont play for Miles Davis otherwise) If you were to ask every player on this list who was the best, then I could guarantee that 9 out of the 10 would say Jeff Beck. Blackmore and Iommi are the founders of Metal/Hard Rock and their longevity and contributions through Deep Purple, Rainbow and Sabbath far outweigh most on this list.
Blackmore, Beck, Fripp, Steve Howe, steve hackett, iommi , peter green, pete townshend, keef, rory, mick ronson, andy summers, alvin lee, martin barre, robin trower and thats just a few
@richardfoulds421 all great guitarists thanks for your comment, best wishes 👍
Slash is British?
@tomhilsonperrie thanks for your comment, yes born in England and has lots of family over here. Think he has dual nationally.
Jerry Donohue or Richard Thompson could outplay most of that list.
Thanks for your comment I will check them out, 😊
By chance do you work for Rolling Stone mag? Edge? I can play anything he’s played and write better guitar music than him and I’m not even a guitarist. Harrison? Like the Beatles are my top 3 but the Beatles had to bring in other guitarists to play songs George couldn’t. I’m surprised you didn’t put the guitarists from the Monkees and Abba in there. Don’t be offended. You put yourself out there and you need to face the backlash.
I am a new TH-camr so early days for me and the experience is probably a good thing to have. Nope don't work for Rolling Stone 🙂. Its true that no one takes a blind bit of notice on TH-cam unless you accidentally offend someone by either mentioning a player they dislike or by leaving their favourite off a list. Good for my watch hours anyway. Thanks for commenting and best wishes from me to you.
You are an idiot
Peter Green would be my number one.
Thanks for your comment, yes Fleetwood Mac Guitarist, good call.
Just my personal opinion here and I am grading them because of their ability to add something to a piece of music, not just because they have amazing speed or textbook technique. Almost all of these fabulous guitarists have written songs with their exceptional musical abilities. If you want speed and technique then TH-cam is full of unknown amazing guitarists.
are yuo insane..where is ritchie.slash is better...go home please.
Thanks for your comment, Please feel free to record your own TH-cam list of Guitarists and I will happily take a look, good job we all have different tastes though. I am already at home and probably Insane as you say ;-) take care.
All totally subjective, as commercial success does not mean you’re a good player, along with other crucial factors to consider. Slash is good but certainly not the best, and ranking him to that of Hendrix is not really a compliment, unless you’re speaking acoustically. The Edge himself admitted he is an effects person, and not a clean solo or chord player. May is a great guitarist, but certainly not the best due to his style. And watching him play with Les Paul will illustrate that. In al fairness these are just very commercial guitarists based more on popularity rather than skill & technique. Compare all of the above to players like Jeff Beck, Steve Howe, Dave Gregory, Steve Hackett or Peter Green to name but a few.
Thanks for your comment, Yes Subjective I agree as its just my humble opinion. Is a great successful musician just a technician with skills? or someone that adds something to a piece of music. Many unknown guitarists could run rings around all of these and yet no one would mention them in a top 10. For me it's the sound they create not how skilfully or fast they play. Knowing when not to play is just as important as stealing the limelight with lightening fast solos.
Jeff Beck and Richie Blackmore not in the top 10!
Thanks for your comment, just my personal opinion, so many to choose from both of your suggestions are fabulous!
@@gavindaviesmusic Richie seems to be the bad guy of rock and is rarely mentioned by other musicians. It is a shame as he was and still is a great talent :)
@@rockfan3299 I will have a listen to his work more closely, thanks for mentioning him.
What no Jeff Beck ,Peter green ,Rory Gallagher ,Alan Holdsworth, Robin Trower, Tony Iommi ,Paul Kosoff, Robert Fripp,Tony Mcphee,Stan Webb, You dont know what your talking about .Slash equal to Hendrix are you having a laugh ?
Thanks for your comment, I didn't personally say Slash was equivalent to Hendrix I was quoting Time Magazine who said ""Time magazine named him runner-up (to Jimi Hendrix) on their list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009" I have attempted to list Guitarists that the general public will recognise easily so sorry for that. Point taken though.
Who do you think should be the number 1 British Guitarist?
Gavin Davies
Gary Moore
@@strat10101 Ahh yes he was a fabulous Guitarist.
Rory Gallagher
Note to self, maybe you shouldn't have your Colin Furze Tunnel Crew T shirt on for this one 🙂

Do you think AI will destroy music, will it make it harder for Real musicians to earn a living ? Is it a good thing ?
Gavin talks about his two recording sessions at the famous Abbey Road Studios. Do you have any stories of recording at this Iconic studio ?
